ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING
SUNDAY 14[TH] DECEMBER 2025
CHAIRLADY`S REPORT
The last 12 months have been very successful for the Kenya Hope Charity. Under the stewardship of Apostle Edward Watta and his YAWASOP Charity, myself and trustees Brian Humphreys, Martyn Dinsmore, hosted Apostle Edward in the UK last March 2025. This was a very successful mission which included Apostle Edward joining in with the St Annes school
sponsored walk in Hewish and the West Wick site raising £1,134 for Kenya Hope Charity supporting Malanga school in Kenya. More toilet blocks were built and play equipment for outside along with food relief was provided. Apostle Edwards visit also brought clarity and acknowledgement to the Kenya Hope Charity through his talks and visits to a variety of different groups during his visit.
This has been the first full year I have now been Chairlady and after a few challenges at the start things are now running more smoothly, along side our trustees, Brian Humphreys, Martyn Dinsmore, June Ford, Shaun Rowlands, Kevin and Laura Smith. And our treasurer Rob Chitty who I would like to thank for working so hard to get all our accounts up to date and in order.
With in this year, we have grown our turnover with extra successful fundraising events, such as St Annes Walk, Marvin sold out concert, Elvis’s night, Quiz and curry event, summer BBQ, Craft stall, our first hosted winter fair at Locking Castle Church with a large hamper raffle and attending other Christmas fairs, along with some generous donations.
We have also gained more sponsors for the children on the programme alongside losing a few due to financial difficulties.
We have increased our income by almost £6,000 April 24-25 compared to last financial year April 23-24.
23–24-year turnover £28,251 with £26,902 sent to support the poor widows and orphans in Kenya.
24–25-year turnover £31,737 with £23,158 sent to support the widows and orphans in Kenya. With £4,243 for flights, food on mission to Kenya. This included Our own donation towards the mission and fundraising for the mission. Also, money for children in the program a party and craft bought to sale on return.
So far our next financial year is looking very good 25-26 year.
With another mission being planned for June/July 2026.
All money sent to Kenya has been documented with receipes and photographs of any work done. Money has been sent for school uniforms and resources like books, school fees term 1,2 and 3. Food relief program feeding the poor and the children in school, office equipment for the Kenya team in Kenya to continue the work efficiently, parties for the sponsored program children twice a year and support for the widow groups.
We still have two mission partners Locking Castle Church and St Peters Church along with St Annes primary school supporting a child through the last part of his schooling and raising funds for a Kenyan school Malanga.
We have much room for ongoing improvement and growth as well as the challenges faced in Kenya to overcome, but with the passion from all our trustees and supporters I am positive Kenya Hope Charity has many more successful years of growth and support to the poor in Kenya.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank God for all the trustees, treasurer , mission partners, loyal supporters and our child sponsors along with our fantastic team in Kenya, Apostle Edward Watta, Bishop Nicholas, Pastor Peter and our social worker Steven for all your hard work, dedication and passion for the charity and many years of hard dedicated work.
May Kenya Hope Charity continue to thrive and grow in God`s love for the poor and needy in Kenya.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF THE KENYA HOPE CHARITY
I report on the accounts of the Kenya Hope Charity for the 12 months ended 31[st] March 2025, which are set out on the following pages.
Respective responsibilities of Trustees and Independent Examiner
As trustees of the charity, the members of the Kenya Hope Charity are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The members of the Committee consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the Charities Act) and that an Independent Examination (IE) is needed. The Charity is preparing Receipts and Payments Accounts, and I am qualified to undertake the examination by being a qualified member of the Chartered Institute of Management Accountants (CIMA).
Having satisfied myself that the charity is not subject to audit and is eligible for IE, it is my responsibility to:
-
Examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Charities Act;
-
To follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the CC under section
-
145(5)(b) of the 2011 Charities Act; and
-
State whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of Independent Examiner’s Report
My examination was carried out in accordance with the general Directions given by the CC. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts and seeking explanations from you as trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a ‘true and fair view’ and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.
Independent Examiner’s unqualified statement
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:
-
a. Accounting records were not kept in respect of the Kenya Hope Charity as required by section 130 of the 2011 Act; or
-
b. The accounts do not accord with those records.
I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
